Your Rights Regarding Breathalyzer Tests
Award winning Buffalo Breathalyzer Defense Lawyers on your side
If you are arrested for driving while intoxicated, knowing your options can help protect you and may lead to less severe consequences. Following your arrest, you will be asked to submit to a chemical test, commonly referred to as a “breathalyzer”. In the state of New York, you are within your rights to refuse the chemical test; however, this is not always the correct choice, as your refusal to submit to a chemical test carries significant civil penalties which are completely separate from the potential penalties that would result from a criminal conviction for DWI.
Such penalties can include additional fines and the revocation of your license for at least one year. The decision to submit to a chemical test is extremely complicated and is based on a number of factors, including your level of intoxication, whether or not there was an accident or injury involved, whether or not there were children in the vehicle, and whether or not you have prior alcohol related offenses.
